re: 2005 h2 hummer won`t shift

Check the IGNO fuse in the fuse block lower left side of the dash. It's a 10amp fuse that supplies power to the transmission shift solenoids. Check for power at pin E (pink wire) in the transmission connector. There is also a pink wire in pin N which comes from the PCM. Pin E is the only wire in the transmission connector that does not come from, or go to the PCM. The codes you have all pertain to the shift solenoids and over drive, leading me to believe it is a power situation problem.

Let me know what you find, I hope this helps.

re: 2005 h2 hummer won`t shift

Certainly appears to be a communication problem to the tranny...

the trans will default to 3rd gear and the vehicle will drive like a slug in "OD or D"

Does the speed-O function?

Does the PRND321 indicator in the dash function?

I'll bet the PCM is bad, as, the PCM controls the shifting.

sorted it

took the car to a superb garage in manchester ( 300 miles each way ) who found the fault in minutes turned out to be a not unknown fault with the ignition switch not powering up the gearbox ! even tho it had battery voltage with ignition on as soon as you started and drove it this faded out and hence nothing worked maybe this will help someone else in the future ! once again thanks for help and advice

hummer

Great news, now that it's fixed.

Often times when you have these types of codes and a problem with the ignition switch, you will have a problem with the speedometer operation.

This concern is checked at the fuse box, with a test light on the trans fuse or some other fuse, that excapes me right now.

Anyway, you wiggle the ignition switch while you watch the test light, if you lose power, during this test, the ignition switch is bad.
